Managing Bard Events and Announcements

  • Log in to Submit an Event
    You can submit your event to the Bard Daily Mail and calendars across Bard’s websites. Be sure that you have cleared your event’s location with Space Management before submitting it. Once approved, your event will appear on the campus event calendar page and on other Bard calendars as appropriate. These listings will also automatically be included in the Daily Mail.
    Submit an Event
  • Submit an Announcement
    A Bard announcement is a reminder, alert, or request you would like to send to the Bard community. Examples of announcements include requests for submissions, sign-ups for a club, lost/found items, help needed, and more. Announcements will be included in the Daily Mail on the day(s) you have assigned to your announcement.

  • Event Managers
    If you manage events for a program or division at Bard, you may have access to Bard’s event tool. This web-based application allows website managers to add their events to Bard calendars.
    Visit tools.bard.edu

Please Note:

Please be aware that it may take up to 48 hours for your event to appear on calendars and in the Daily Mail. Last-minute submissions may not appear in the Daily Mail or elsewhere if not submitted at least two days before the time of the event. Please plan accordingly. Announcements are published by the Office of Communications. If you have any questions, please contact them at [email protected].

Coordinating Events with Cosponsoring Programs

The interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of Bard's campus culture ensures many events that are cosponsored by multiple programs and offices. Please avoid posting multiple versions of the same event to the Bard event tool or the Bard app. This can create uncertainty about an event. Rather, identify a program that will "own" the event in the Bard calendars and app. The event owner will be on point to receive updates and details from cosponsors and ensure that this single version of the event appears on all the correct program calendars. This creates a single source of truth about event details. The event owner should be the office hosting the event and doing the majority of the work promoting the event. In cases where a cosponsoring office wants to create their own version of an event for the purpose of sending an individual eblast from the Bard event tool, please mark that event as "not public" and don't select any calendars; also create a custom subject line so that the event will not sync by subject to the Bard app.
